This team did a great job. First, get Darryl as your estimator/designer/guide. He really helped…read moresolidify our vision from idea into a project. Second, you'll be working with Everton, the owner. That makes communication easier - he's not always on site, but responds quickly when you reach out. In our case, it was a good size project: demolishing a concrete patio, installing a new drain system, two sets of steps, adjacent to a pool, and with a narrow alley access (no truck to the back yard). It took a little longer than expected, but the final result was worth it. The demo crew was efficient, neat, and worked safely. The prep crew spent a good deal of time installing the drain system, note the photo of the tie-in to the downspout - that was not in the proposal, but they felt it was the way to go. Too, they spent hours grading and leveling to insure the base was prepped correctly. The install crew took their time, and I was really pleased with the detail of the odd cuts required - see the angles and corners. As well, when I mentioned it, Everton made a special order to get grey drains for me (see photos), as they just looked better with the paver we chose (stock is black). The install crew even ripped up a section to install an additional drain right below the downspout for the patio cover I was having another contractor install. No one asked them to do that - they just felt it was the right thing to do. It's the extra details like these I feel set them apart.

I needed a retaining wall in my back yard as well as the dirt levelled off behind it. My yard is…read morenot easy to work around with limited access, so they ended up needing to build a second wall (added cost) to hold the excess dirt back. I was skeptical of the second wall at first, but in the end it looks really nice and I think makes my yard flow better than what I had imagined in my head. I did exceed my budget, but I don't feel like I got a bad value for the money. I really appreciate the fact that Mike and his crew kept the work site clean. I feel like that is becoming rare nowadays.

I desperately needed design ideas for my small mess of a dog run backyard. I had no real grass,…read morelots of dirt, weeds, and just a patch of vegetation here and there. I found Mike on Yelp!, and reached out. I am thoroughly impressed at the way this business is run! The owner is not only gifted at his business, he is extremely professional. He did a walk through, asked what I wanted, and gave suggestions. Then he took measurements. By the next morning, I had a formal plan drawn up, with detailed items in an electronic contract app that made this process seamless. The estimate was in print viewable from my mobile phone, and I was able to pay my down payment right from my mobile. How convenient! The employees were friendly, always on time and respectful of my property. I absolutely love my new backyard, and my grand dog does too! I cannot thank Mike and his crew enough for making this amazement happen. Thanks Mike and crew!

I couldn't imagine loading our own vehicles to haul away these items, so we did the next best thing and called in the expert to do the rest.

He was in regular contact, called and arrived when he said he would and the finished job was exactly the vision I had. My only expectation of any contractor I've ever hired is to do what you say you're going to do when you say you're going to do it. Kapono met and exceeded my expectations and created something that should still be here 100 years from now. It's a family business and it shows! Brian McDermott

Kapono is true professional who takes pride in his work, as he should because his work is top quality. He's also just a great guy to work with. I recommend him highly. Michael C Napa, CA

There is nothing worse than dealing with contractors that randomly ghosts you! You won't have to worry about that with Sio and his team. They were early every day of the job, and they were patient and always explained things to me thoroughly. I was really happy with the job and my neighbors all had good things to say about their work! I would call them up again if I ever need help again!

We had Innovative Concrete Solutions lay so much of the concrete in our front and back yard and…read moreboth side driveways. Originally, last May, we wanted the side driveways and a concrete slab to put our Tuff Shed on in the backyard, but within a week, we knew Innovative Concrete Solutions would also do high quality work on the patio portion that we wanted stamped and colored, so we added that to the backyard project. The owner Ramon designed a color for me after I showed him pictures of the shade of terra cotta I was going for. I received so many compliments on the unique color of my patio concrete from friends, family and neighbors. He can work a color to your preference, he has colors ready or you can come up with your own like I did. My husband and I were super pleased with the entire look of the two sides and back yard! Four months later in Oct, we were ready to put a couple of concrete walkways in the front yard. Again, I had specific designs chosen for stamping and colors and Ramon delivered again on another unique design and color impression sample that satisfied the look I was going for. For the price he was charging me for the two walkways, it was indeed worth what I got in return. The work done was professional and high level. We were beyond happy with the vibe and look created. THEN UNEXPECTEDLY, the ground below the main walkway started uprising within a month of the completed walk way work. My husband called Christian, and both Ramon and Christian came by within minutes and ensured us they would redo the concrete edge so the sidewalk and walkway would be seamless again. Not that any of this uprising was their fault and yet Ramon didn't want to charge us for any of the work he did today to get the concrete even with the sidewalk again. As customers worldwide would agree, customer service beyond the original project or product is everything to us. Thank you INNOVATIVE CONCRETE SOLUTIONS for the innovative and custom look created for us and the solution to the only one problem that came up. We cannot thank you enough for all the beauty the concrete has brought to our outdoor space and for going above and beyond to smooth down the edge of the concrete which looks absolutely amazing now!!

One thing that really stood out is that they noticed our old driveway had the wrong slope and that the approach up to the front porch was too steep. They corrected the driveway so it now has a proper slope toward the road and added a new step for us -- at no additional cost. That was not something we asked for, but something they caught. Everything was done exactly on schedule and exactly at the agreed price. No surprises. They also worked smoothly with another contractor we had on site at the same time. Before they left, the cleanup was immaculate. Several of our neighbors noticed how nice the driveway was looking. We are very happy with this. Competitive pricing, quality work, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Rene, Alex, and Navarrete Concrete.
